In 2021, Dubai Health was established as the Emirate\u2019s first integrated academic health system. Since then, MBRU has led the learning and discovery missions of Dubai Health, positioning the University at the heart of a unified academic and clinical ecosystem. \r\n\r\nThe International Team for Implantology (ITI) Scholarship at MBRU is hosted within the Department of Periodontology. A cornerstone of the Department\u2019s academic model is its long-standing and strategic relationship with the ITI. As an ITI Campus, the department embeds ITI educational principles within postgraduate training, ensuring residents are exposed to evidence-based implant dentistry, critical thinking, and contemporary clinical decision-making. Our postgraduate students actively participate in ITI educational activities, including study clubs, symposia, and international congresses, fostering early engagement with the global implant community.\r\n\r\nThe Department of Periodontology at MBRU is also home to several ITI-supported clinical research initiatives. Notably, we are a participating center in an ITI-supported multicenter clinical trial conducted in collaboration with the University of Otago in New Zealand. This partnership highlights our commitment to clinically relevant research, international collaboration, and contributions to the global evidence base in periodontology and implant dentistry.\r\nIn parallel, the department maintains a strong academic collaboration with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons (RACDS). Our postgraduate program conducts conjoint examinations with RACDS at the completion of the three-year training period, ensuring rigorous external benchmarking and alignment with internationally recognized standards of specialist competence.\r\n\r\nThrough these strategic partnerships, the Department of Periodontology at MBRU offers a globally connected, research-driven training environment that prepares graduates for leadership in clinical practice, education, and research."},{"acf_fc_layout":"highlight_people_3","title":"Scholarship Center Chairs","items":[{"image":7610,"position":"Scholarship Center Chair","name":"Prof Dr Momen Atieh","location":"Dept. of Periodontology "}],"cta":"","cta2":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"scholarship_activities_list","description":"","image":4311,"sub_sections":[{"acf_fc_layout":"list","title":"Clinical activities the ITI Scholar will participate in during the Scholarship year","description":"","items":[{"title":"Treatment planning sessions","available":true},{"title":"Performing oral hygiene procedures and maintenance","available":false},{"title":"Observing patient treatment","available":true},{"title":"Assisting in patient treatment","available":false},{"title":"Treating patients under faculty supervision: placing implants","available":false},{"title":"Treating patients under faculty supervision: restoring implants","available":false},{"title":"Treating patients alone: placing implants","available":false},{"title":"Treating patients alone: restoring implants","available":false},{"title":"Laboratory and procedures associated with treatment ","available":true}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"description","title":"Local regulations and special requirements the Scholar must fulfill to be able to participate in clinical activities and treat patients ","description":"Candidates need to hold residency within the United Arab Emirates."},{"acf_fc_layout":"list","title":"Postgraduate education\/specialization","description":"","items":[{"title":"Postgraduate training in the following specialty\/one of the following specialties is a must: Periodontology","available":true},{"title":"Postgraduate training in the following specialty\/one of the following specialties is an advantage: ","available":false},{"title":"Minimum three years of professional clinical experience as a qualified dentist ","available":false},{"title":"Minimum three years of professional clinical experience as a qualified dentist including implant dentistry","available":false}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"list","title":"Research activities the ITI Scholar will participate in during the Scholarship year","description":"","items":[{"title":"Involvement in preclinical research","available":true},{"title":"Involvement in translational research","available":true},{"title":"Involvement in clinical research","available":true},{"title":"Coordinated involvement with existing center research activities","available":true},{"title":"Mentors will be assigned to the Scholar according to their research preference","available":true},{"title":"Scholars will be able to start their own research projects ","available":false}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"list","title":"Research experience required","description":"","items":[{"title":"Research experience supported by peer-reviewed scientific publications (original papers) is a must.
